Asked by Denise Brine | Jul. 10, 2021 10:50
My husband has a disability and cannot bend his left leg at all. Would this be a problem on the two day, one night tour?
Answered by Jolie | Jul. 10, 2021 10:57
Dear Mrs. Denise Brine, Thank you for contacting us. We have served clients with disabilities before and it is still okay. It might be difficult for your husband to join off-board excursions, however, he can stay on board, enjoy the view from the room balcony or sundeck and join all on-board activities. You can also consider Era Cruise on the same route Lan Ha Bay (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/era-cruise.html) or Ambassador Cruise on Halong Bay (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/president-cruise.html) as both of them come with an elevator, more convenient for him to move around.

Asked by Jenny Chan | Jul. 01, 2021 09:22
I'm planning to go for a 2D1N cruise trip in November 2021. There are few questions i would like to ask: 1) In total 3 adults and 1 child (13years old), is there any family room for us, or we need to book 2 cabins? 2) Is there shuttle service from Hanoi international airport to Halong Bay? If yes, how much and how long does it take? Thank you
Answered by Mary | Jul. 01, 2021 09:30
Dear Jenny Chan, Thank you for your interest in our service. I would like to answer your questions as follows: 1) The cruise has a triple cabin for a maximum of 3 adults yet you have a total of 4, I suggest you take 2 Ocean cabins connecting for more comfort. 2) The shuttle bus does not pick up from Hanoi airport to Got Pier, Haiphong (cruise pier) yet we offer a private 7-seat car at a cost of US$115/car/way. It takes you around 2 hours on the new highway. You can book the shuttle bus after the cruise to get to Hanoi Center at a cost of US$15/person/way for more cost-saving. I hope this helps. If you need more information, we are happy to assist. Regards, Mary (Ms.)
Asked by Danny | Jun. 15, 2021 08:58
Hi, we are planning a 3D2N cruise on 7 Dec with 3 kids (9, 11 and 12 years old). Is the Mon Cheri Suite with extra rollaway bed good for my family?
Answered by Mary | Jun. 15, 2021 09:02
Dear Danny, Thank you for contacting us. For your family, the Mon Cheri Suite only fits a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children under 12 years old on the extra rollaway bed. Thus I suggest you take 2 cabins connecting Ocean (1st deck) or Elegance (2nd deck) for better comfort and convenience. Should you have other concerns, feel free to contact us again. Regards, Mary (Ms.)
Asked by Peng | Jun. 03, 2021 10:58

Dear Peng! Thank you for contacting us! Mon Cheri Cruise (the 24-cabin one) does have an Elegance Family room including 1 double bed and 2 single beds on the second deck. Besides, you can also choose the Connecting Ocean Suites on the first deck. The cruise offers a complimentary birthday cake if your day trip is the same as the birthday.

Hi Do you still offer free transportation from Hanoi to the cruise by limo bus? Also we need to return to Cat Bi airport for a 13:55 flight. Is this possible for me to catch my flight?
Answered by Cindy | Dec. 16, 2020 02:36
Dear Lisa, Thank you for your question. My name is Cindy and I am very happy to assist you with your trip plan!

Asked by Sue | Dec. 07, 2020 11:33
Hello, I was just wondering if Lan Ha Bay was as scenic as Bai Tu Bay and Halong Bay. how does it differ?
Answered by Mary | Dec. 07, 2020 11:45
Dear Sue, Thank you for your question. Lan Ha Bay actually has the same scenic beauty as Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. Halong bay is well-known and understandably more crowded than Lan Ha and Bai Tu Long. But if you are seeking a new destination with a quieter cruising experience and would love to maximize your time relaxing, Lan Ha Bay should be on your travel list. I hope this helps. If further information needed, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Best regard, Mary (Ms.)
